La Boheme is perhaps Puccini's most nearly perfect opera. It has long been one of the world's most beloved musical works - an instantly enchanting blend of charm, warmth, gaiety, and pathos, brought to vibrant live by Puccini's sparkling, lighthearted score. Arranger Christiaan Janssen did use the orchestral material from the opera to make a large Symphonic Suite for concert band.
